Strontium acetate is a compound with formula (CH3COO)2Sr. It is a strontium salt of acetic acid. It is a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water like other acetates. It is used as a pathway for other chemicals such as barium acetate. Additionally, it is used in some strontium-containing toothpastes.[4]

Preparation

Strontium acetate is formed by reacting strontium metal, strontium oxide, strontium hydroxide or strontium carbonate with acetic acid.

Sr + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + H2
SrO + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + H2O
Sr(OH)2 + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + 2 H2O
SrCO3 + 2 CH3COOH → (CH3COO)2Sr + H2O + CO2
